Sterling Arrested,
A dispatch to the New Orleans
States of Wednesday, from Charles,
ton, S. G., says: AVN. Sterling was
arrested here to-day on the order of
Sheriff Reid, of Calcasieu Parish, La.
Sterling was the agent of the Waters
Pierce Oil Co., and the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Co., at Lake Charles.
A large reward is offered for him. He
looks as if he had come through a |
severe serimmage, and says he is will
ing 10 return to Louisiana without a |
requisition." 1t will be remembered
that Sterling left here several weeks
ago in a very mysterious manner, and
even his most intimate friends ap-
peared to be ignorant of bis where
abouts. It is to be hoped that he
will straighten out matters and
explain everything satisfactorily upon
his return.
On Sunday morning the 18th ult.,
at l:l5 o'clock, G. F. Conerly Sheriff
of Vernon parish, breathed his last at
the residence of DR.. RolIie ]. Frank

La. Mr.. CoDerly had been on trip
to Texarkana for the purpose of identi-
flying prisoner held in custody there,
and on his return was taken with
pneumonia. He remained a day or
two at Robeline and at the time the
disease gave no very alarming symp-
toms. he was thence removed to the
residence Of DR.. Franklin after which
it became very evident that dissolution
was rapidly approaching. His estl-
mable wife was summoned to his bed
side which she reached a day or so
previous to his death.
Up to Thursday morning the fol-
lowing cases had been disposed of in
the district court: Conyicted-AIzi-

bert Neyland and Everett Como,
same; A. D. McFarlain and Judson

There is no one thing that impresses
a stranger so forcibly, when visiting a
community with which he is uuac-
quainted, as the reception with which
he meets from it's residents. Lake
Charles is noted for the hospitality Of
it's citizens, and the heavy tide of I'M
migration which is steadily turning
this way should be encouraged and
augmented by hearty exercise Of this
characteristic. Make every newcomer
feel that be is welcome furnish him
with all the information possible, and
in every way eudeavor to give him an
insight into the advantages Of our city
and parish, and we will enjoy a boon
the like of which this section ha
never witnessed.
